Expensive but worth it. Really heavy duty quality material stand that be put in any position because of the ball and socket hinge.

This is just what I needed for my Handpan. Advertised for a snare drum but works perfectly and at less than half the advertised cost for a Handpan stand. Completely adjustable in all ways

La verdad, llevo un rato usándolo exclusivamente para mis ensayos, ya que no soy músico profesional ni me dedico a esto, sin embargo, da un excelente agarre y firmeza, tanto para la tarola como para el piso con tremendos regatones que viene.Aparte, con su sistema 360 viene muy bien para colocarlo como quieras. Se que arriba de este hardware tenemos a Tama con su increíble serie Star y su base de tarola, o Pearl con su serie 1030 pero no le pide nada a estas productos, además, tiene buena altura y sus memory lock son de lo mejor.No te vas a arrepentir con esta compra.

Have been using Gibraltar 8600 series hardware for almost 23 years. The best hardware for weight to strength on the market far surpassing any brand name and far stronger than any brand name. I play strictly vintage rare drum kits and the 8600 series Gibraltar Vintage Flat Based series stands out perform DW by a huge margin and Pearl and Yamaha simply don't come close they are way too heavy and not functional for the professional constantly gigging touring player like Gibraltar is. I have tried Tama flat based and DW flat based and they fell apart so quickly it was a joke. My 8600 series stands however have not failed. I finally replaced the snare stand after 23 years of use still using the original HH and three boom cymbal stands I ordered originally!

I bought this stand to use with a handpan. It works wonderfully. The weight added by being heavy duty makes it incredibly sturdy. No wobbles or even a worry of it tipping.

I have used the same Gibraltar pro series hardware for over 15 years. Weekly regular setup/breakdown and moving around. It is still as solid, tight, and stable as it was on day one! Love this hardware and worth every penny over the long run - you will never need to buy hardware again!!

Great. Very heavy duty. Didn’t realize how difficult it was to find a quality concert height stand with a ball system rather than one with standard gear tilting. I’ve had difficulties finding a snare stand that would keep the drum completely level. This does that but I wish there was a lighter weight option. It’s very tall also. I’m 6’ tall and at its lowest, it’s the perfect standing height.

I needed a lower stand that is not too low, and has gearless tilter. It goes just low enough to be more confortable for me while still fine with my 5.25" snare. I love the infinite adjustments on the basket and the feet are super sturdy. I was hesitant to buy this after reading a review at an online music store about problems with 10-lug snares, and it turned out to be true, the 3 symmetrical arms really can't be put around 10 lugs in a way to avoid the hoop holes, but you can find a position where two are just barely on the edge where it curves out. In the end I loved the stand so much, I wanted to keep it no matter what.

I had my Grandchild, bless him, whom being too kin when he saw my Drum set up, decided to sit on my snare Drum.... I laughed but I can tell you that I checked my Gear and nothing moved, he is a tall 4 years old hopefully maybe one day a future drummer and I can guaranty with his help that I got a very strong item. Long live Rock........

Great stand for the price. Stays in place, easy to adjust, very sturdy. Definitely better than paying over $200 for a DW stand that does the exact same thing, which is to securely hold your snare drum. I would buy this product again.

UPDATE: I bought a second stand and, lo and behold, it shipped with a proper length tube. Well done, Gibraltar! Upgrading to Five stars.For those considering ordering this stand: height adjustment is severely limited by the length of the down tube from the snare basket. It is physically impossible to use the stand with the basket lowered all the way into the base as the down tube protrudes approx. 4-5" inches below the base such that the legs will not touch the ground. This is an easy fix with a pipe cutting tool, but really, for brand new hardware manufactured by a subsidiary of an aerospace company, you shouldn't have to resort to sawing off the pipe. That said, I sawed off the pipe. Post-surgery, this is an excellent snare drum stand. Exceptionally sturdy for a flat base model and lightweight. Five star performance from the stand, but two stars have been subtracted - one for each inch of pipe I removed. Read this and consider modifications, Gibraltar/Kaman!
